I watched the extended trailer. Am I face blind or are there two young albino women both vying for the throne and only one of them is Rhaenya, or is it only one person and I keep seeing double?

I think there's another white woman with white hair saying something like "if Rhaenya inherits, any chance of our succession vanishes" or something like that.

So I'm not face blind but it is one character. Okay that means I'm not blind just confused by a trailer that doesn't make time jumps very evident.

So when do we get the social media reaction embargo lifted? I always enjoy the interchangeable tweets about the laughing, the crying, the overall feels regardless of how good or poo poo the thing ends up being.

Wow I can't wait for the thrilling conclusion to this finished George R. R. Martin tale where the girlboss gets murdered for being Bad and then her nemesis's sullen son sits around looking sad until he can exorcise some of the author's insecurities by telling a fat man to gently caress off

Meanwhile they had no trouble changing Asha's name to Yara because they thought it was too close to Osha.

Everyone just got done creaming their jeans over Elden Ring and my understanding is that all the characters there have nearly identical names.

I mostly listen to his podcast and streams. He has pretty interesting stories from working in government, too. Also, George got covid from the convention.

Winds is done. He was just using the title as a metaphor for his writing. It’s all air baby.

Lmfao if this true. According to leaks from the HoTD premier they lay out that the reason why the Targaryen’s conquered Westeros was that they knew about the White Walkers and needed to make sure there was a strong united kingdom to fight them. Which is f true is one of the most overplayed tropes in all of fantasy/sci-if and only makes the ending of GoT dumber.

George retconning Aegon the Conquerer into a good guy and savior is so on brand with his clear turn from caring mostly about the Starks to falling in love with his stupid magical incest master race circa 2005.

I know the Targaryen’s had weird prophecy dreams, but I thought for the most part they were incomprehensible enough where they were either used for self-serving reasons only, or drove the person crazy trying to understand them

It completely flips over so many of the core themes of the series that I have to wonder just how bad GRRM took the way the TV showed cratered in the last 2 series. No doubt that the old guy is lazy and mostly just doesn't care about writing as much anymore but it also suggests that he wants to "redeem" his story through another successful adaptation even if that means completely undermining the foundations of it.
